Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 large eggs — separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Pinch salt

Butter and line with parchment paper a 9-or 10-inch round
cake pan that is 2 inches deep.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the yolks with the vanilla.
Whisk in half the sugar and continue to beat until very
light and frothy, about 5 minutes, either by hand, with a
hand mixer set at medium speed, or in a heavy-duty mixer
fitted with the whip.

Combine the flour and cornstarch and sift once to aerate.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt
until they hold a very soft peak, either by hand, with a
hand mixer set at medium speed, or in a heavy-duty mixer
fitted with the whip. Beating faster, add the remaining
sugar in a very slow stream, beating until the egg whites
hold a firm peak.

Fold the yolk mixture into the whites with a rubber spatula.
Sift the flour and cornstarch over the eggs in 3 additions,
folding them in gradually. Do not overmix the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, until it is well
risen and feels firm when pressed gently with the palm of
your hand. Immediately loosen the layer from the side of
the pan with a small knife or spatula. Invert the layer onto
a rack and leave the paper stuck to it. Turn the layer right
side up and cool it on a rack.

Unless you are going to use the layer within a few hours,
double-wrap tightly in plastic and keep in the refrigerator
up to 5 days, or freeze.
Yield: 1 9- or 10-inch layer cake

Title: Sandcake (Sandkage)
Categories: Danish, Cakes, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 servings

1 1/4 c Butter
1 1/4 c Sugar
3 Eggs
1 c Flour
1 c Potato flour
3/16 c Rice flour
1 ts Vanilla extract

I was getting ready to ship off the Danish cookbook to Ted when I
remembered that you had asked for a recipe for Danish pastry. Here’s
a gen-u-wine one, several variations and a short recipe for Sand Cake
that got snagged with the Danish recipe.

Mix the butter and sugar, add the eggs one at a time, and finally the
sifted flour and vanilla extract. Bake in a moderate oven about 1
hour, or until golden brown. If baked only 45 min. the cake will be
underdone but tastier.

and drain. Save some oil in the wok. Add seasonings.
Stir quickly. Add stock and pork foot. Simmer over a
low flame for 1 hour. Remove. Steam for 10 minutes.
Save the juice oozing out from the pork foot. Put the
pork foot, upside down, on the plate. Stir-fry the
dried pickled cabbage with sesame oil. Add the juice
above, cornstarch paste, and spring onion. Mix well.
Pour it over the pork foot. Fry the carrot and turnip
balls for 3 minutes. Garnish the dish with them and
add some spinach. Serve.

Note: Sugar colour is made by frying granulated sugar
and rock sugar with oil over a very small flame. It
looks like soy sauce and helps deepen the colour of
the dish.
